As the first ever Chicago Food Film Festival, none of us were sure what to expect. One of us had read that it was an open door free for fall event, and warned us not to expect organization. I must say however, it was a very organized event and enjoyed by all of us!
The evening began with the opportunity to try foods of all sorts of food from around the Chicagoland Area.

We sampled pomegranate margaritas, cucumber martinis and lavish wines from
Lush.Delicious braised carrots and beets from
Harvest Moon Organics, an abundance of cheese from
Jarlsberg Cheese, and fried foods galore (hellO cheese curds)!
The rushed reception of food was following with a screening of multiple short films focused on film.

Each film was paired with surprise samples passed out during the film. From out comfortable seats we sampled: Deep Fried Orero, Cucumber Soda and AMAZING Hoosier Mama Sugar Cream Pies.

And what better way to top off a fun fall evening of food, films, and friends than with some festive pumpkin spice ice cream. gaaahhhh... still drooling~
